The Guidelines outline the broad principles and minimum standards to be observed by e-money/e-wallet issuers concerning the operation of e-money/e-wallet schemes.
On top of that, approved issuers of Shariah-compliant e-money/e-wallet are required to comply with sections 28(1) and (2) IFSA in issuing a Shariah-compliant e-money. Accordingly, all operations, businesses or activities of such approved issuers need to be Shariah compliant.
